PHP 8 for Developers Training Course

The training course is designed to prepare participants for the role of a professional web designer (occupation code: 213202 according to the Standards of Professional Qualifications), with a focus on “HTML and CSS in web design.” It also incorporates a programming component that addresses problem-solving using JavaScript and PHP.

This program is structured with the expectation that participants will develop the ability to create and design websites using HTML4/HTML5 alongside Cascading Style Sheets CSS2/CSS3/CSS4 Throughout the process of building a website, learners will apply HTML tags to organize text, images, tables, and interactive forms on web pages, as well as establish connections through links to other pages and external sites. In parallel, Cascading Style Sheets 2.0 will be used to style and format web content in line with specific client requirements.

Upon completion, participants will be well-positioned to pursue opportunities within service-oriented companies specializing in web design or to establish their own consulting practice as self-employed professionals. The course content focuses on the practical aspects of website creation using HTML and CSS, ensuring a solid foundation for real-world application.

Even experienced programmers do not master by all means the various security services offered by their development platforms, and are likewise not aware of the different vulnerabilities that are relevant for their developments. This course targets developers using both Java and PHP, providing them essential skills necessary to make their applications resistant to contemporary attacks through the Internet.

Levels of Java security architecture are walked through by tackling access control, authentication and authorization, secure communication and various cryptographic functions. Various APIs are also introduced that can be used to secure your code in PHP, like OpenSSL for cryptography or HTML Purifier for input validation. On server side, the best practices are given for hardening and configuring the operating system, the web container, the file system, the SQL server and the PHP itself, while a special focus is given to client-side security through security issues of JavaScript, Ajax and HTML5.

General web vulnerabilities are discussed by examples aligned to the OWASP Top Ten, showing various injection attacks, script injections, attacks against session handling, insecure direct object references, issues with file uploads, and many others. The various Java- and PHP-specific language problems and issues stemming from the runtime environment are introduced grouped into the standard vulnerability types of missing or improper input validation, improper use of security features, incorrect error and exception handling, time- and state-related problems, code quality issues and mobile code-related vulnerabilities.

Participants can try out the discussed APIs, tools and the effects of configurations for themselves, while the introduction of vulnerabilities are all supported by a number of hands-on exercises demonstrating the consequences of successful attacks, showing how to correct the bugs and apply mitigation techniques, and introducing the use of various extensions and tools.

Participants attending this course will

• Understand basic concepts of security, IT security and secure coding
• Learn Web vulnerabilities beyond OWASP Top Ten and know how to avoid them
• Learn client-side vulnerabilities and secure coding practices
• Learn to use various security features of the Java development environment
• Have a practical understanding of cryptography
• Learn to use various security features of PHP
• Understand security concepts of Web services
• Get practical knowledge in using security testing tools
• Learn about typical coding mistakes and how to avoid them
• Be informed about recent vulnerabilities in Java and PHP frameworks and libraries
• Get sources and further readings on secure coding practices

The course provides essential skills for PHP developers necessary to make their applications resistant to contemporary attacks through the Internet. Web vulnerabilities are discussed through PHP-based examples going beyond the OWASP top ten, tackling various injection attacks, script injections, attacks against session handling of PHP, insecure direct object references, issues with file upload, and many others. PHP-related vulnerabilities are introduced grouped into the standard vulnerability types of missing or improper input validation, incorrect error and exception handling, improper use of security features and time- and state-related problems. For this latter we discuss attacks like the open_basedir circumvention, denial-of-service through magic float or the hash table collision attack. In all cases participants will get familiar with the most important techniques and functions to be used to mitigate the enlisted risks.

A special focus is given to client-side security tackling security issues of JavaScript, Ajax and HTML5. A number of security-related extensions to PHP are introduced like hash, mcrypt and OpenSSL for cryptography, or Ctype, ext/filter and HTML Purifier for input validation. The best hardening practices are given in connection with PHP configuration (setting php.ini), Apache and the server in general. Finally, an overview is given to various security testing tools and techniques which developers and testers can use, including security scanners, penetration testing and exploit packs, sniffers, proxy servers, fuzzing tools and static source code analyzers.

Both the introduction of vulnerabilities and the configuration practices are supported by a number of hands-on exercises demonstrating the consequences of successful attacks, showing how to apply mitigation techniques and introducing the use of various extensions and tools.

Participants attending this course will

• Understand basic concepts of security, IT security and secure coding
• Learn Web vulnerabilities beyond OWASP Top Ten and know how to avoid them
• Learn client-side vulnerabilities and secure coding practices
• Have a practical understanding of cryptography
• Learn to use various security features of PHP
• Learn about typical coding mistakes and how to avoid them
